The state demo cratic executive and central committees J wiW meet at Raleigh tomorrow. The occasion is la sialemn one, in view of the revoiltutionary atti - tude the party has been led, by the ma chime element of the party working through the democratic majority in the last legislature, to ssutne on the suf - frage -question, and the popular pro : test this has excited. What such a (( 1 ) protest can accomplish has been dis-- . closed In. Kentucky. Goebel attempted - there What .Simmons, the chairman of the democratic executive committee la. this state, Is attempting here. GoebePs ' attempt divided his plasty and lbst , them the gtovernorshdp. Throughout the country the Goebel) election law - t and' Goebel's methods have been ex ' - ecrated. The last legislature in this s , s etate enacted1 the Goebel law into $ur statutes. They added to it some fea tures that are wtorse than amy that the Goefbel law contains. In this act, and in the submission of the Louisiana suf- V frage amendment, after they had tak en pains to send a committee to Wash- ington to learn that that amendment is a violation of the United States ,consti- v. j tiition, they followed the reeommenda- - ti'OaS f Chairman," Simmons and his .W eanJbjtJtouj? little confederate, Joseph us ' .Danteis, expected to rid the party over which thy fcv gJned contiiol of ' ' the mifvf Sttll? tamest ppo.si 3; - Jn at the polls. If C iWm r, ' ' "tioii law is capfable of any other con- . ' f -fetfUetlOh. we wiould be pleased to have 1 either Simmons or Daniels explain it. "At the nieettnig: to nnorf ow the two democratic committees might receive I , 'jf , froth the promoters of this law an ex- t planaition of it and transmit that ex , , " planation to the public. In view of the ' ' Verdict registered against the law in "Jteintucky it would be interesting to fanow if the democratic committers in v ' f this state regard it as politic, leaving - out the question) of Honesty which was omitted when the law was enacted V'- v tov tne party to remain, under the ' cloud of this disgraceful law. It would - r s also be interestimig, In view of the re- ' cent verdict of the Georgia house of , i representatives on the Ixmisiana 1 amendment, and the now well atteste-i , f I public sentimenut against it in this ; t state, tk know if these committees are willing1 to endorse the act of the machine in its attempt to pQace this ' amendment in the constitution ' ; I North Oarfolinia. Of course if the oommlttees declared in favor of the re , J -, pefcil) of the SImimbns election law, and V "the enactmeinit of an- honest 1 election law,, they wou3d dissolve the plot to . force through the amendiment. the rat r' v iflcation of which; depends upon the Simimkras law ; This meetings will be a f r test of the strength of .Simmons and ' .

The leaders of the party will declare for honest elections, and withdnaiw from the attempt to deprive voters of the right of suffrage by fraud, or the people will talfe the mat ter into their own hands. The choice remains with the party leaders to say which method of settlement they will chtoose. Tolstoi's article, VSelf-Sacriflce," which has already been noticed in the Gazette, is apparently a puzzle to the critics. Nohing- in tne literary line from Russia since the "Kreutzer So nata" has excited anlore attention, 'but no one seems to know just how to take it. The Brooklyn Eagle says of it: "Self Sacrifice of particular importance and imipresiveness. In it the marvel ous seHf-surrenderi of the man is shown in every guesome detail. The apparent impossibility of living' the Christ life is miade the imperative ne cessity of following1 the high ideal. On the surface a confesion of failure, it is, as a matter of fact, a remarkable' manifestation of the faith which may yet move mountains." The Washimgtoai' Post takes another view and says: '"So TOIstoi has re canted1. In his 'last rnes'age to the world, "Self Sacrifice," he despairingly admits the error of his doctrines and the futility of the denial which he has practiced. He says that the task of reforming mankind through the medi um of self-ialbnegation is too viast, too stupendous, that a widening chiasm ex ists between the rich and the poor, and that countless humlan bodies and gen erations of self-sacrifice are needed to fill it. He 'afjso speaks of the ingrati tude of the poor, of their whimsical demands, of their utter lack of appre ciation and tha. albsoute impossibility of noticeteubly lessening1 want and wretchedness. Could there be a moro mournful spectacle? Tolstoi, aged and dying in perhaps the last article which his stiffening fmigers wil ever pen, r noumces theb lief of a life-time." We fancy the general reader will see neither the triumph of faith nor th confession of failure in "Self-Sacrifice,' but merely the history of an experi meet. As such it should have its val ue as a 'Tiumian document" and take its place amlorag biographies. At the October meeting of the Bpis- copliam club of Masachusetts, Captain MahJan read "a paper on the relations of church and state from the point of view of Christian practice, in Which he said, "Our duty to the state derives from our duty to God," and declared that while each citizeni must act ac cording to his individuali conscience in political 'matters the church as a whole has "the clearest of duties to watch sympathetically all that concerns the state, and to influence its course by unceasingly asking! that it may be guided aright by the direct inspiration of the Holy Ghost. This is the organic connection of church andl state. We cJannot 'be true to the one unless we are true to the other." The New Tork Sun says, under the title, "Our Vanishing Pines," "Minne sota is our last 'great source tof white pine lumlber, and its supply will (be ex hausted within the next five vears if the present Hate of consumption con tinues," and adds: "This country should begin in earnest the study of .methods of husbanding and cultivating our timber, so that we mlay alDways ail Abundance. lumber is wealth and it is 'a liffhtning rod on'a church is a sign of - .
